Subspecies
Birds from north of range named as subspecies aquilonia, but description based on wintering individuals of uncertain origin, and slight colour differences seem unreliable.
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

larifuga Burleigh, 1963 - Breeds south-western Canada and western USA south to northern California. Non-breeding southern probably to at least western Mexico.
